Give it Back to the People?

I don't do politics much, but here's a statement from the Georgia Speaker of the House, Glenn Richardson as reported by Peach Pundit that really sets me off:

The House position all along has been that we wanted to give money back to the people of Georgia, whether that be in the form of needed local projects such as economic development, natural resource preservation, or local infrastructure improvements.

So the leaders of the Georgia legislature believe that huge amounts of pork-spending dollars funneled, most likely, to key supporters is the same as giving that money back to the tax payers. It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.
